I think when you're a director, it's hard to do something unless you're absolutely over-the-moon in love with it. The audience, they spend 90 minutes with it, but for you, it's anywhere between a year and a half to three years of your life, every day, working on it.

As a director, I also get to sit and watch actors and learn from them in a way that I don't get to do when I'm just acting.

When I feel like being a director, I write a novel.

I enjoy directing more when I don't have to direct myself. I like when I can just be the director.

I'm a pretty hands-off director. I let people try things, and if it gets over-jokey, then I'll try and rein it in a little bit.

I think it's very boring for a director to always do the same kind of movies.

I guess I'm just the kind of person who likes to do it all. It's fun to put on the writer's hat and go hide by myself with my computer for six months. Then it's fun to come out and put the director hat on and deal with all the things that a director deals with. Then it's fun to just be the producer and, um, not do anything.

I feed off variety. I don't want to repeat myself if I can help it, but once they've seen you doing one thing, directors often just want you to do it again.

I think, when you're a director, you get sucked into your project whether you like it or not, right?

Directing films is incredibly exciting to me.
